SubSpace

An oldie but goodie.

I don’t remember how, but while taking to my younger brother, I was reminded of a great game from…wow 1995 or 1996: SubSpace. I remember playing this on my cousin’s PC (and then my PC once I got one) in college. At the time, it was free and going through beta. It was then released as a full game and cost money. It has again become free (probably awhile ago). The free version is called Continuum.

There’s 3 major types of play:
Fighting, flag collecting and … well soccer.

There’s some interesting mods available that combine or extend these game types, like Hockey instead of soccer. And Dragon Ball Z where you use the “ball” (Dragon ball radar) to find the Dragon Balls (flags) and collect all 7 until the timer runs out, then you get to make a wish to the Eternal Dragon.

This might be one of the first Massively Multiplayer online games (that I can think of). Now adays, there’s usually just 50-100 people on a given server, but I’m sure there were more back in the day. I highly recommend you check it out.
